Lets plant a garden!

I love having fresh stuff to eat from my yard. I cannot say I love gardening. I might have been raised on a farm, but it's just not in my blood. I hate weeding! The kids have the funnest time planting stuff and watching it grow! I love to watch Rick teaching them things and to them its not learning its fun. He truly has a green thumb. He is patient and perfect when it comes to planting a garden. And I don't want to hear anything about the shirtless kid and the other one in the jammies. It was a lazy day!

A Miracle he ......

There are so many ways to end this sentence. I will only fill you in on 2. #1 he is alive. Those of you close to me know what we went through last Thanksgiving. It was a horrible night (Breena's Birthday) He survived a horrific accident that to this day I still cannot put all the pieces together and come out with him still being here with us. The most amazing thing is he is a strong fighter. He helped us all through it with his typical laugh and smile. I love him more than words can describe. so onto #2 He GRADUATED College. They let him go! He is now officially grown up! ok recant that. He officially put up with it for more than 4 years. I am so proud of him! Now what to do with all that time?

Lil' Rascals in the parade!

Rick was lucky enough to be asked to drive in the Smithfield health days parade. I think this is so much easier than standing on the side of the road catching candy you really should just throw away! The kids want to ride and wave and we are all Happy! This is the preschool that Cody has been attending. I would recommend it to anyone!!! She had all of her kids show up to wave and throw candy!

Dance Recital #2

We had our second recital tonight. This one was so much work. But when we saw the finished product it was worth every penny, second and tear! I LOVE her outfits! they were sown by the founder of the dance company Nansi Blau (From the Dance Source) I am biast, I took from Nansi when I was younger and now her daughter has taken over and has done impressively! We had her recital at the Eccles Theatre in Logan. It is a beautiful theatre! She danced so very well. I love to watch Ricky's face. He can't hide anything. My sister Ann came! thanks for representing. It's hard to see everyone else have all their extended family come and I pull tooth and nail to get



one to come. it means alot! She performed 4 dances! I will try to get some video up of her. She took this dance class with her bestest friend Kambry. The are little princesses! I loved the design of her personal and class photo's. She had the cutest little guy in her class, his name was Hyrum. He loves to dance and showed up faithfully with a smile every time. I love her toothless grin. She really is growing up so fast.

Soccer X 3

We are going to be so busy this season!!! I have all 3 kids playing this season. Lucky for me Breena and Cody are on the same team, next year not so lucky! We have had a few games scheduled for the same time so Rick has field hopped to support them all. Cody was still pretty sick for his first game. he would run down the field and then lay on the grass and let the kids run around him. He is getting better at least at his last game he was asking the kids to play thumb wars or shooting them with his finger gun. Trever is in an older league this year, they are assigning the kids positions. Its been and experience to teach him to stay in his position and how successful you are for that and how many goals you score doesn't apply anymore. Breena has made her first goal this year. I missed it. we were double booked, Trever had pack meeting so Ricky took the younger ones. He won't stop talking about it! She really has a foot on her. I am so proud of my 3 players!
